The following
is information on the spring collection of the 2002-2003 Career and Technical
Education Reporting System (CTERS) 1 Report (Form #QF040) for career and
technical education.This report is
more commonly called the Secondary Enrollment/Demographic Form (SEDF).

All division
career and technical education administrators were mailed a CTERS manual from
the Office of Career and Technical Education Services on August 7, 2002.This manual contains directions for
completing this report and the due date.

All data is
due to the Department of Education on or before Friday, March 7, 2003.Early submission is encouraged and would help
us in processing these data.The SEDF
data are critical to the Office of Career and Technical Education Services as
the information is used for a variety of purposes, including career and
technical Standards of Quality (SOQ) funds for school divisions, and for
calculating the nontraditional enrollment federal performance standard.

The SEDF
report is to be submitted electronically (mailto:cters@pen.k12.va.us),
either in the Excel spreadsheet or ASCII flat file format.

A
custom-designed spreadsheet and detailed instructions for completing the report
can be downloaded from the Department of Educations website.The complete address to access the
spreadsheet is http://www.pen.k12.va.us/VDOE/Instruction/CTE/cters/.On this page, choose Users Manual for the
instructions and SEDF Template for the specialized spreadsheet.A file layout is included in the
instructions for school divisions that prefer to submit the SEDF data in an
ASCII flat file.
